Bold Retail Offers A “Marketplace Makeover” To Amazon Vendors

Bold Retail, Inc. today launched Marketplace Makeover™, a new service built to help Amazon 1^st party sellers effectively harness the power of Amazon’s rapidly growing 3^rd party eCommerce marketplace.

“Today’s fastest growing brands use Marketplace selling to win and, as a result, the Marketplace now represents the majority of Amazon’s sales,” according to Bold Retail CEO Allan Peretz. “We’ve helped companies of all sizes navigate how to win in this space – our new service combines everything we’ve learned into a streamlined, step-by-step process.”

In just four weeks, Bold’s proprietary approach addresses 5 areas essential for any brand’s success:

• Size of the Prize: Bold determines the brand’s Marketplace sales opportunity using proprietary calculations that leverage competitive sales benchmarks and shopper search volume.
• Competitor and Reseller Landscape: A comprehensive category audit identifies both established and emerging players that could threaten the brand’s growth.
• Cost to Compete: Marketing and promotion budgets are determined through assessment of competitive marketing activity levels and actual category-specific marketing costs.
• Portfolio Strategy: Based on assessment of pricing trends and of fulfillment costs (using Amazon’s FBA service or other 3PL alternatives), Bold provides SKU-level prioritization and provides profitable bundle and solution packs recommendations.
• Capability & Compliance: Finally, the Makeover addresses internal capability, highlighting specific areas that each brand may need to address based on their plans (including internal accounting and tax implications along with volume forecasting, pricing, and other processes).

COO Horacio Trevino said, “Our decades of experience as CPG brand leaders makes Bold uniquely suited to understand the internal and external considerations our clients face. We’ve built this Marketplace solution with the CPG Brand Director, Channel Leader, and General Manager in mind—we’ve been there, and we know what you need. We’re ready to help you, from assessment to implementation.”

The process begins with an initial expert consultation, which Bold provides at no charge. Brands seeking additional information or a consultation can go to www.marketplacemakeover.com or email solutions@boldretail.com.
